When I first began to flush, I would freak out and get the "chills" so bad that no amount of covers could keep me warm. I'm pretty sure it was just nerves in my case though. Never ever had the dry mouth. I still tremble and get the chills whenever I think about the flushing because I get so nervous that I'm going to ..well, look like a walking blotchy tomatoe. Vanity? Probably.

Anyway, I think you should go see a doc. about your symptoms. Doesn't sound like nerves/rosacea but I'm not a physician.

Can't speak to dry mouth or chills, but when my rosacea first "came out" I also noticed a few weeks later that my hands would occassionally go very very red (sometimes when I flushed, sometimes when I didn't). Just what I figured I needed - hands to match my face! :shock:

Anyway, when I went to my doctor he figured it was likely something hormonal and to just to be glad it wasn't Reynaud (cold hands and feet).

I figure hormones is a likely guess as I think (my opionion - doctor is pretty useless in this regard) is why my rosacea came on so very fast and intense (certainly haven't been able to pinpoint any other real cause for it).
